A safety campaign started on February 5th and ends on February 11th. This campaign checks carnival toys and costumes. Over 55 shops in Cyprus are being inspected.

The TV show ‘My Aphrodite’ will film on February 22nd during the grand parade. This will show the Limassol Carnival to a worldwide audience. It is a great chance for the city to be seen. The music for the carnival will be a Greek song called “Life is a Carnival.” The new Carnival Queen, Amaryllis Kyriakou, is ready to help. She wants to make this carnival unforgettable. Limassol's carnival will be a great mix of culture, safety, and international interest.
